Ringtone sounds 'droopy' and slow on N97

Hi,
As I'm discovering some of the little annoyances about this phone I will endeavour to have someone at Nokia to please advise me. Lates booby is the ringtone...................... Everytime the phone rings it sounds like it is playing on a tape cassette player with barely enough battery to turn the spools. how can this possibly be when everything is digital? The sound is horrible and droopy and slow!
Has anyone else had this problem?

All fixed after several firmware updates. Pity the same can't be said for the horrible Nokia Ringtone issue. This problem has not been fixed and is exacerbated by the fact that Nokia regardless of how many emails I send them do not respond any further than the automated reply stating they will get back to me within 48 hours.
Never happens.............Where did it all go wrong Nokia? When did you decide that silence was the best policy?

T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver

Hi everybody,
I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
Anybody experience on this?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Did you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
What are you using to check graphics performance?

ITunes sounds scratchy and slow

When I play songs in iTunes, they sound scratchy and have pops in them. At about 8-10 seconds in, it really slows down for a second or two and then seems to free up a bit, but not without the scratching and pops.
I have iTunes 7.0.1.8 running on Windows XP. I have searched through the forums and tried all the suggestions I have seen about the QuickTime preferences, updating DirectX, etc. Nothing seems to help 100%. Any ideas????
eta - It gets worse when the CPU seems to be running at high capacity - (like opening an app or ie or something).

Bump - Anyone out there experienced the same thing???

Custom or Purchased Ringtones Sound Muffled in 6.0.1

Custom ringtones sound muffled when used as ringtones, yet sound perfect when used as text tone or any other alert. This was fixed in IOS 5.1 but is now back. This is easily tested by going to sounds and listening to the custom ringtone in Ringtone then go to Text Tone and listen to the same file. There is a marked difference. The Ringtone sounds muffled and narrow-no bass, not much treble, the Text Tone sounds perfect, as it should.

I like you I have not been a user of this functionality.
Another editor (who was only learning the system) showed it to me and my initial reaction was "Wow, That's what that does?"
This would have been very helpful on the last two features I cut.
I even have to ask when did this fuctionality first work in FCP?
and now that I know about it, why is this not in the contextual menus?
Apple/FCP talks lots about being in Feature Film workflows
but this is just the sort of tools that feature editors need and want.
I am happy that soundtrackpro may be upgraded and now useable
but these sorts of double sound system issues have never been FCPs strong suit. I do wish that apple would go back and upgrade the sound inside of FCP. (better sync tools, better timecode tools, and real 5.1 mixing in the time line) - Cinema Tools needs an overhaul badly for 24 fps HD matchbacks...
The other two biggies in FCP for me are:
1)
A better trim mode - (more responsive key commands - live trimming...)
But here is a tool that most everyone hates and apple should take a stab at a better version, anything would be better..
( do it right and you could sell a lots of multi-touch tablets
2)
Being able to cut from a sequence as source (without nesting the sequence).
Every editor coming from the Avid in the last two years I've spoken to, howls about it. And yes you can "select in to out, copy, paste" but they are right. Think like an editor thinks, "Take my assembly reel and use that as source"....
oh sorry
I was ranting..
I will stop now
all the best

Dv5t-1000 CTO Sound sputters and OS slows down after a few hours

I am running Vista 32bit SP1 on a DV5T-1000 CTO machine, 4gb ram 2.0ghz c2d
I've noticed that after a few hours of use, usually after I leave the machine on alone and coming back to it, the sound completely degrades and the OS response completely slows down to a crawl. It is especially prominent if I go to something like youtube and watch a video. the whole thing sputters and stutters and sounds horrible and the os slows to a crawl.
however, if I pause the video, until it's fully loaded, THEN play it, all is well, and my OS goes back to full speed...
but the longer I leave my PC on the WORSE it gets. if I leave it overnight, and come back in the morning, the result is horrible. I have an audio alert to notify me if I have email. normally it just does a quick 'beeep-booop, taking about a quarter of a second' as it flashes the message in the corner. If i leave the machine on over night, the next morning the message will go 'b-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-p-p-p-p-p-p b-b-b-b-o-o-o-o-o-o-p-p-p-p-' and takes about 5 seconds to complete the notification!
At this point, if I try to restart the computer, or shut it down from the start menu, it does nothing. I go to start select restart, nothing. I go to start, select shutdown, nothing. I have to physically hold down the power button and kill the computer!
I've updated to all the latest drivers for all my components straight of the h-p site. I even tried upgrading my nvidia drivers to the latest from nvidia.com. that didn't work so I reverted back to the h-p ones (from LAST YEAR by the way, can we get an UPDATE!)
so please, tell me WHAT GIVES! In addition to using my computer for daily activities, I also produce music on it. And if I use my pc for more than 2 hours, and I want to work on music, I have to reboot or suffer as my computer completely locks up.
PS. this thing says I cant make a word using the letters h and p... is this a JOKE?!?!?!?!?!?!

sorry about my tone, I don't realize how I sound when I'm typing, though I do think it's ridiculous that a forum about h-p doesn't allow you SAY h-p
anyway, I'm still at a loss for what to do, and it just occured to me that this may not be the place to get official help. are there h-p people here? or should I be contacting support? I have a feeling all they're going to tell me is to update the drivers...

Why can't I set my downloaded .dm ringtones as text and email notifications?

I have an HTC Incredible 2; I paid for and downloaded several ringtones from the Verizon store, two of which I wanted to specifically use as the text and email notification sounds. I then had the already discussed problem of not being able to find the newly downloaded ringtones immediately, but from the postings on here and the Adriod forums, I followed the directions to set up the folders titled Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms on my sdcard, and moved the downloaded ringtones into their respective folders. When I opened up the Personalize menu, under Sounds I was immediately able to find the ringtones I'd placed in the ringtone folder, but my phone wouldn't recognize the ringtons I'd placed in the Notifications folder.
I downloaded the app Zedge, downloaded specific Notification sounds (.mp3, and they work). I also downloaded .mp3 ringtones and then moved them into the Notifications folders, and THAT worked. The problem seems to be that these are .dm files? Is my phone unable to read .dm files as Notification sounds? Or is there something I missed? Something else I can do?
I looked all over for software that will convert .dm files to .mp3, found a suggestion calling for the deletion of a couple of the lines of code from within the .dm file using Notebook ++, but that didn't work. I don't remember seeing anywhere in the store that these ringtone files come in the protected .dm filetype; that many players will not be able to play them, and that I won't be able to use them for notification sounds?
Ay one have any suggestions? Verizon: am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Usually when you purchase ringtones from the Verizon store, you can only use them as ringtones. Since you have a smartphone, an app would be the best bet. You can find almost any song you're looking for in a free ringtone app, there's no need to purchase them.

Airport is unstable and slow

Hello everyone,
I just bought a used mac book pro. It has a clean install of lion 10.6.8
Airport is very unstable and slow. Ethernet is solid and fast. Was up late/and tweaking around in settings all day. Finally got the settings to recognise the 2wire router here but it is not a solid connection at all.
Any help is welcome.
Perhaps I can be of help in return some day.
Thank You in advance
tommmmmmmmmmmmy

okay,
Due to the overwhelming responce I guess I will just keep hacking at it till I get it.
I understand the reluctance to get near a THORNEY "airport" problem.
Sounds like Im not the only one.
And I just got here from buying a used MBP with fresh install and updates.

Why is the Lumia Icon's ringtone lower than when previewing the ringtone in settings/system/ringtone sounds? (The volume is set at 30 in all cases.)

Why is the Lumia Icon's (929) ringtone lower than when previewing the ringtone in settings/system/ringtone+sounds? (The volume is set at 30 in all cases.)

Hello Lena,
Yes, tried all those things.
After going back and forth with Verizon's "tier 2" technical support over the last 2 days, a chat session with Nokia, no call-backs-as-promised by your technicians, then having them reinstall the phone's software -that didn't fix the problem. So they are sending me a re-manufactured replacement phone. But not a NEW ONE, because I didn't realize the problem within 14 days. You see at first, I just figured the phone had lousy volume, until I was previewing ringtones when setting the alarm clock. The phone is about one and a half months old. I have expressed my desire that a NEW phone be sent, but NO says Verizon.
I've spent enough time, in good faith, Verizon would solve this matter, but in the process of their re-installing the software they've screwed up Backup Assistant.
Thanks.

BB Pearl Flip - ring tones/sounds quit and shuts itself off

I'm having major problems with my phone since I got it.
I'm on my fthird phone since May 2!!! On exactly 8 days on the first phone the ringers/sound would quit and would say there was an error on the phone and wouldn't play the sample music. I brought it back to my dealership and they gave me a new phone. On day 8 again the same problem happened! My dealer suggested buying the extra memory chip and I put it in the phone...I did. The only thing I have downloaded on that phone was msn and facebook. It was also shutting its self off during day 8! 8 days later again the ring tones/sound wasn't working! I went back to my dealer and got a new phone. This time he said to only download facebook and not msn in case it was a memory problem. Now yesterday was day 8....and again the ringtones/sound doesn't work! I don't download anything...no music, videos not even any ringtones! Not hearing your phone ring is somewhat of an important feature to the phone!! Oh and when it's acting up the only way you can get it to stut off and reboot is to pull the battery!..and we all know how long it takes to reboot! you might as well come back in an hour!! Then it will reset and will be okay for a few days! ( or this has been my experience so far!!)
This is my first blackberry and honestly will probably be my last! I haven't been impressed! I want to see if anyone else was experiencing this type of problem. I have 30 days again until I can't exchange it and if I can't get this figured out it will be going back and I'll be getting something different!

I had a similar problem with my first 8230 that I rec'd in late April of this year. After only a few days the ringer stopped working and nothing I tried and nothing Bell support did either via the wireless network or at a local Bell Store was able to restore the notification profiles. I had the phone replaced (within 2 days via purolator after I returned the defective one and have since had no problems ... have changed the notification profiles several times in the interim. I'd try several things like making sure you have the most up-to-date software version, and current service books offered by your carrier, before chucking it with BB. For my part, I'm loving the Flip, but will probably be upgrading to a Curve or Storm at the first opportunity (next April!).

C5 - Ringtone sound deformation problem :(

I have huge problem with Ringtones sound in my C5.
It runs under 031.022 firmware, which is the latest version available in Polish Ovi Suite.
Background info:
-> MP3 tracks play normally. Both on earphones and C5's speaker.
-> SMS alarms have normal sound when messages are coming and inside settings section.
-> Ringtones in settings section play normally.
What's the problem:
-> When someone calls, ANY ringtone is totally messed up. Original Nokia ones or my MP3's, it doesn't make a difference.
It sounds like it has some flanger effect on it. It's broken and unbearable to listen.
I suppose it's a problem with a software, not with a hardware, because C5's speakers work fine while playing MP3's, SMS alarms or even Ringtones in settings section.
I've reinstalled firmware using Ovi Suite. This operation went fine, but it didn't help a bit.
Is there any solution?

MBP running loud and slow-- Help

My MBP seems to be running rather loud and slow whenever I do things that require more usage... is there anything I can do?
I read about this smcfancontrol, but im scared to use it if it may void my warranty.
Thanks

Skype, games and video are CPU hogs and will raise internal temperatures dramatically thus resulting in increased fan speeds. It sounds that you really do not have a problem with your MBP.
If you want to monitor the situation, download from the Internet iStat pro. This will show you the internal temperatures and fan speeds of your MBP which then you can correlate with the data available in Activity Monitor.
Ciao.

Why does the ringtone sound worse AFTER I download it?

Hi guys,
I'm having an odd issue. I just bought three ringtones direct on my iPhone 4S from the iTunes 'Tones' section, and when I set them as ringtones and preview them on the phone they sound really crappy. When I previewed them in the 'Tones' section and streamed them the sound was full and clear. Any ideas?
Much appreciated,
Sacha

I have exactly the same problem, the best way of describing the problem is that the ringtones sound very tinny, possibly distorted like they've completely lost the bass and much of the lower midrange.
Like Sacha I've purchased 2 ring tones from the iTunes store within my iPhone 4S (Nicki Minay - Super Bass, and The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra - Star Trek the Motion Picture), within the store they sound great but as soon as their assigned to ring tones they sound awful. At first I assumed that the downloads must have been poorly compressed or something but I've since confirmed they play great on my PC.
I've also noticed something even more odd, if I use the ringtone as a text message tone on the iPhone one of them sounds great as it should but the other ones won't even play, very strange! I've had a look at the tones on my PC and both are 30 seconds long, and both are compressed to 256kbps at 44.1khz so no obvious differences. I've recompressed them to alternative bit rates but nothing seems to make a difference to the sound quality as a ring tone.
I've since tried both ringtones on my Wifes iPhone 4 and her's exhibits the same problems so not a handset or iPhone 4s specific issue. It sounds to me like a software bug in iOS5?

DVDRW is Mega-Slow and slows the system down

Hi,
I have:
4 x SATA2 disks on the ICH7 (three in RAID 0, one as single disk)
1 x IDE DVDRW on the Secondary IDE port, set as slave
When I burned a DVD yesterday the sound started to slow, I thought it was the application. But when I try to install a game DVD, the same thing happens .. the sound becomes 'jittery' and most noticeably the DVD takes AGES (FOREVER) to read.
I checked the BIOS, JMicron is set to IDE. the rest is set to defaults.
I checked Device Manager, the only active channel (Secondary IDE) which was set to 'PIO ONLY'. I changed this to 'DMA if available' but it's still in PIO mode. I beleive it should be in DMA??
Should I be using a different cable? I'm using the MSI supplied cable at present.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!

You already have the latest stable release from MSI, but unfortunately lots of MSI customers have a problem with this BIOS version. There is a Beta release (1.6a) that BOSSKILLER posted earlier
http://www.ukshazam.com/download/bosskiller/7235v16A.rar
and it’s upgrading the Jmicron BIOS version too. You can choose between DOS or Windows flashing procedure. If you decide in Windows mode, download the latest BIOS version from MSI Live Update (Application that came with your Installation CD for keeping your MB up to date) and the file from the link above. After everything downloaded, go to Program files-Setup files replace only the bios file (extension .150) with the one from the link above(extension .16A), and run the MSIsetup file. Make sure that the Clear CMOS option is selected. For safety reason, make a recovery floppy and check for some setting in BIOS before flashing, so that you can configure the new version of the BIOS properly.
About the Widows drivers, Go to Control Panel – System- Hardware - Device Manager- “SCSI and RAID controllers” – right click on Jmicron- Uninstall.
Then: Control Panel- Add or Remove Programs – JRAID-uninstall.
Restart your computer, and when you’ll be prompt that “Found New Hardware”, click cancel on the “Found New Hardware wizard” and install the drivers that I’ve posted earlier (double click on the setup file).
Try with the drivers first, and if the installation is successful under DVD/CD Rom Devices you will notice that the drive is recognized as SCSI cD/Rom Device.
Good Luck
